1)There Will Be Favre – Controversial
un-unretirement of Brett Favre – a self-absorbed quarterback, driven to
play by his intense hatred of Ted Thompson and psychological need to
change his mind about playing football ‘Every Given Sunday.’ Using the
excuse of not wanting to play half-baked and wanting to project the image of a caring
team player, Favre gains the empathy of the fans of SportsNation and
mainstream media. Over time, too many Sour Patch kid farewell
tearjerkers, and washes through the Kenmore hot air cycle raises the
media’s gag reflex to the surface. All the while Favre manages to
delude himself into believing his “final” shot at glory is as pure as
fresh fallen snow.

The theme was "green" as I rode up the escalators of the AMC Loews Theaters in scenic downtown Chicago and Sprite spared no expense in pulling out the punches to promote their new all natural drink --- Sprite Green and the Lebron James documentary "More Than A Game." The drink boasts half the calories of the original Sprite with all natural sugars laced with a hint of lemon juice in a green tinged transparent glass bottle that would make the Incredible Hulk proud. However, the event hosted by local comedian and radio host, Leon Rogers was "More Than Green." As any tastemaker, fashionista or media hound would tell you, after packing into an intimately lit theater seating 150 people and previewing the highly anticipated documentary 7 1/2 years in the making -- It was more than Lebron James.
